Meerup

About Meerup

Meerup is a large, sparsely populated rural locality in the Shire of Manjimup, situated in the South West region of Western Australia on the Southern Ocean coastline. Covering approximately 242 square kilometres, the locality has a population of just 159 residents, reflecting its predominantly natural and agricultural character. The southern portion of Meerup is protected by D'Entrecasteaux National Park, which stretches to the Southern Ocean coastline and encompasses significant dune systems, coastal heath, and karri forest. The locality lies approximately 20 kilometres south of Northcliffe, the nearest town with essential services.

Meerup's landscape is dominated by wild coastal scenery, karri and jarrah forest, and the expanses of D'Entrecasteaux National Park, which attracts hikers, birdwatchers, and 4WD enthusiasts. The nearby Windy Harbour settlement, within the postcode area, provides a small coastal community and popular fishing and camping destination on the Southern Ocean. There are no commercial services within Meerup itself; residents rely on Northcliffe or Manjimup for groceries, fuel, and other supplies. The area appeals strongly to those seeking a deeply rural and self-sufficient lifestyle surrounded by some of South West WA's most impressive coastal wilderness.

Meerup falls under postcode 6262 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Warren-Blackwood (South West) electorate.
